Sioux dance

A group of Sioux performs a dance in a camp for Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show at Ambrose Park in Brooklyn, New York. Several of the men wear feather headdresses and carry round shields and spears adorned with feathers. A cowboy stands in left background watching the dance. A man wearing a suit is in the right background. A group of tents, including one for Jule Keen, treasurer of the shows, is set up in the background. A log cabin, possibly for John Burke, press agent for the shows, is in the left background. Lettering painted on a building in the background reads "Twice Daily 3 and 8:15 p.m. Rain or Shine."
